After winning the first Test of the ongoing away series against South Africa, England entered the second match full of confidence. This was epitomized in a grand manner by their young all-rounder who played one of the most incredible innings ever witnessed in the longest format of the game. His double hundred, the second fastest in Test history, was filled with breathtaking stroke play. Stokes’ destructive knock produced 258 from 198 balls with 30 fours and 11 sixes. He hammered South Africa’s attack to all parts of the ground in arguably one of the most remarkable knocks ever witnessed in the country. It helped his team post a total of 629/6 before the declaration.
